theme

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each quotation to its corresponding theme by analyzing the meaning:

1. First Quotation (Alice... factory)

The quotation is about Alice working hard (studying, commuting) to avoid a factory life and achieve her goal.
Match: "Sometimes you have to work hard to achieve your goals."

2. Second Quotation (But I think diseases... anyone)

The quotation says diseases affect people randomly, not based on who “deserves” it.
Match: "Misfortune strikes randomly, not just those who deserve it."

3. Third Quotation (Passing bums... without a house)

The quotation is about relating to bums (who are homeless) because the speaker knows what it’s like to be without a house (remembering their roots).
Match: "Remembering where you came from can help you relate to others."

Final Matches:

• Alice... factory → "Sometimes you have to work hard to achieve your goals."
• But I think diseases... anyone → "Misfortune strikes randomly, not just those who deserve it."
• Passing bums... without a house → "Remembering where you came from can help you relate to others."
